A terrorist plants several bombs throughout the city of Colombo, Sri Lanka and threatens to detonate them unless prisoners are released.
Acting
Kingsley's whispered threats hit different.
Direction
Rutnam keeps Colombo claustrophobic and tense.
Editing
Ruthless 86 minutes — no fat, all pressure.
Director
Chandran Rutnam
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is a loose remake of 'A Wednesday!' (2008), but shifts the setting to post-civil war Sri Lanka, adding layers of ethnic tension the original lacked.
Chandran Rutnam had to rebuild entire Colombo street sets after monsoons destroyed them mid-shoot — the rain you see is sometimes real, sometimes desperation.
